I've always enjoyed the fact that I was born on the 1st of April. April represents new beginnings after we're all tired of winter. It usually coincides with Easter, as it does this year. Everyone's on guard for "April Fools" jokes.
My mother was pregnant with me at the same time her sister, Evelyn, was pregnant with her first-born. Aunt Evelyn was due April 18th. My mother was due April 22nd. This was going to be (to quote Joe Biden) a BIG DEAL! I can tell you that being the oldest grandchild has its perks. Although I was the 4th grandchild on my Dad's side, at least I had the good sense to be born female. This picture shows me with Bill Hansen and Chuck McCafferty with our g-grandather, August Vonderheide. We were all born between April and May.
The best story of all is that my mother feared she was infertile! It took her six months to get pregnant -- and apparently, they were really trying! Both parents, and Grandma Ryan, were absolutely convinced I was going to be a boy. It had something to do with the way my mother was "carrying me".
So I "fooled" them on all counts. Even the bus company newsletter where my Dad was employed at the time published my birth announcement noting that my Dad expected a boy. I'm not sure if my Dad was at work when this happened, but the story I recall was that my mother called her mother to say she needed to get to the hospital. Grandma was not about to fall for that April Fool's joke -- and told my mother that. After all, Aunt Evelyn was due first!
I guess my mother was convincing, because she got to Bethesda Hospital and had me at 11:55 AM (if I recall correctly). Chuck, Aunt Evelyn's first-born, was born on his due date. I won! There ended up being 25 grandchildren. I was first and Kathy Ryan Busken was last. Both Kathleens were bookends.
I can't end this post without saying that today I am 61 years old! With my age comes the freedom to blog and do other things for my own entertainment and enjoyment. I feel like this blog and my family history records will be my legacy.
I'm reminded every day what a blessing my life is. About 12 years ago, I tried to buy some 10-year term life insurance. My agent worked very hard trying to find a company, any company, that was willing to bet I would live to be 60! That certainly got my attention.
So I write this with the joy that comes with having such a wonderful family. My husband, Bill, has put up with me for 23 years. I have THE BEST daughter in the world, Liz. She has a wonderful husband, Roland. They have given me the opportunity to be a grandparent to Ian, now 22 months old. And best of all, I am relatively healthy -- it's all relative.
Sunday will be Easter and I will get to spend it with my wonderful Jones family. Due to facebook, I'm more in touch with cousins than I have been in years. So I'm one happy Jones/Reed.
Thank you so much for reading along. NO FOOLIN'! And thanks, Mom, we did this together 61 years ago.
Welcome to my blog -- Jones Family Matters. Over time, I hope to post stories, pictures, etc. from all of my family lines. The initial posts will be about the Joneses, but I've researched my German and Irish roots, too. Surnames I've investigated include: Jones, Ryan, von der Heide, Cronin, Probert, Dailey, Wainright, Reed and Hellmann. I am consoled by those who came before me and hope you are, too.

Hobie 14 and Dragoon world championship
This small easy-to-identify catamaran with its asymmetrical hulls and simple rig initiated at its time a revolution in watersports and continues to make the adrenaline rise.
Hobie 14 and Dragoon world championship
With only one race sailed today Arnaud Thieme (France) managed to maintain his lead after 17 hard fought races. The lead in the world championship changed constantly with Oliver Stoltenberg (Germany). Georgia Warren-Myers (Australia) finished a well earned third after and becomes the first woman on the podium for a Hobie 14 Worlds.
Sailors from France, Germany, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Brazil, South Africa and Poland have all participated in this world championships.
A new world champion team in the fourth Hobie Dragoon Worlds has also taken place. The Hobie Dragoon was designed by Hobie Cat Europe as a youth trainer for racing. Age target was 12 to 14 years. Double trapeze and spinnaker option to introduce young sailors to high performance.
Tom Heinrich (Germany) and Lea Selin Zisler(Germany) lead from Day one. But was always kept honest by Brandon Wijtenburg (RSA) and Todd Fisher (RSA). Lukas Vermeulen (Belgium) and Alexander Van Grotenhuis (Belgium) was third. Being a junior class the talent shown by the young sailors it is very clear we have future multihull champions.
The Hobie Tigers and Wild Cats have one more day of racing to conclude their world championships.

Officials of Pittsford Community Corp. announced the signing of a land purchase agreement to acquire the 18th century Forrest farm historic building, barns and surrounding 14 acres.
The property will provide Pittsford with a large village green and a village center.
Pittsford was one of the original Hampshire Grants towns which marked the birth of Vermont in 1761.
The property is located near the corner of U.S. Route 7 and Elm Street and is in what most locals would currently refer to as the Pittsford Village Center.
It is also in a designated and state-approved so-called Village Center Area which provides certain tax and other financial benefits to certain types of new businesses.
"It helps to prevent sprawl and preserve our rural countryside," said Baird Morgan, president and a founder of the corporation. "We are not talking about a modern shopping mall or strip center but a historic and charming Vermont village center. The area is also in a state and federal recognized historic district which will protect and insure that the local history and heritage of the area be sustained and at the same time provide certain financial benefits for appropriate building restorations."
Morgan noted that the project will have design standards in keeping with Pittsford's heritage and architecture.
"When we started the PCC nearly 12 years ago, we intended on filling the void between what a small town government could afford to do with what needed to be done by supplying the volunteer efforts of local citizens," he said. "We have been talking about a significant village green and a true Vermont village center since the very beginning and now it is happening".
According to Pittsford resident and antiques dealer Thor Konwin, "There was no room for expansion while the immediate area is home to the popular Kamuda's Country Store and Deli, the Pittsford Post Office, the historic Maclure Library and the Hill Top Tavern-there was no room for additional businesses and parking was very limited."

Real Housewives of Orange County
What Has Quinn Fry Been Up to Since Leaving RHOC?
Oh, Quinn Fry. We barely knew ye. After joining The Real Housewives of Orange County for just one season — Season 3 — Pamela "Quinn" Fry bid the Bravo show a fond farewell. She was discovered by producers during the casting call along with Tamra Barney, who is still alive and kicking on the series. But why exactly did Quinn leave the show? "Bravo is making a few cast changes," she wrote on her MySpace blog at the time. "I must have not been the right fit on the show or too old or whatever." Aww, Quinn! With the show entering Season 9, we are curious as to what the former stars are up to these days. Quinn, a mother of two grown children, Shannon and Colin, splits her time evenly between Orange County and Humboldt County in California, according to her website. She works as an Internet marketing manager for Cox Communications. OK, cool. But would she return to the show? "I would," Quinn tells Yahoo. "And I would definitely do it differently. I had too many filters on." Interesting! It sounds like homegirl has had a change of heart since last January, when she told fans on Twitter: "I have had bravo channel Blocked for about 2 yrs. Lol." As for being a single, gracefully-aging gal on the dating prowl, Quinn says "it's hard" to navigate the scene "when you're past 40." "The men in Orange County are serial daters," she dished. You deserve the best, girl. Don't settle. Would you like to see Quinn return to the show? Hit the comments and sound off!

SkyFire is a browser available on various smartphone platforms. It's claim to fame is that it can pull down Flash videos on the web, and stream them to your phone. The result is Flash video playing on phones that don't have access to the actual plugin. The app is free everywhere except on Apple's iOS platform, where Flash is forbidden. In its first weekend, SkyFire has managed to make almost $1 million, just $2.99 at a time.
All this is happening in the midst of SkyFire pulling the app in the face of a massive onslaught of users hitting their servers. The app returned, and the users were not deterred. After Apple's share, SkyFire will be making about $700,000. Hopefully they will be able to upgrade their backend.
They'll probably need it too. Apple doesn't look to be backing down from their no-Flash policy. For the time being, the only way to get Flash video on the iPhone is with workarounds like SkyFire. Have you tried SkyFire on iOS? Is it worth the $2.99 price tag?

New Arrivals
I have an older dog who isn't very hungry except for treats. I got the original little pack of these as a freebie with another order, and turned out these are his all-time favorite treat.
Definitely would purchase again - recommended without reservation.
Freeze-dried little treats that don't make a mess. My new foster dog that was initially very shy and not food motivated can't get enough of these tastey lil' morsels!
Bigger container than I thought. My dog loves these freeze dried liver treats. He will just about anything for one.
These are exceptional "treats" for training . The dogs love them, they are easy to carry and a wonderful tool to train with. The price is great and the amount in the package is certainly worth the money! This is not,and won't be a one time purchase!
As usual, LiverBits set off a stampede, as all of the critters came running when I popped the top. They love it!
Don't give them too much as it will spoil them for anything else
These liver treats are awesome! Our Mom plays games with us, she tosses one in the air and we have to catch it. Of course we have to be sitting and waiting for our turn. Chester, Ellie & Fresca
This is a repeat purchase - need I say more?

Had a flat, level, gravel, back-in site. Staff made it easy to park. Sites have two sewer hookups so you could choose the most convenient option. Wi-Fi worked well. Nice picnic table in site. Free coffee each morning and free chili fogs on Friday night. Nice campfire program. Staff constantly asked if they could do anything to make our stay nicer. Use driving direction on web site. GPS not aware of closed streets due to Columbia State Park. Very nice park. Only down side was no good spots to take dog on walk due to narrow, windy road. Would definitely stay again. - travelcouple
We agree with previous posts, the staff is great at this RV park. The sites can be tough to get into, and they direct you into your site. The hookups are well located. The road into the park is narrow but it is no real problem. On Friday night they had free hot dogs, also coffee every morning. The park itself is probably a 7 but with the extra service we raised it to an 8. Nice quiet park, we will return. - sjones
Great hospitality by staff and good location for many sites to do and see around area (Columbia, Jamestown, Murphy's, Big Trees, etc.). Some of campground is on hillside so getting into tight spots can be tricky but staff is great in helping you into your spot. Showers/bathrooms could use upgrading (hot water takes awhile to work (esp. in men's). Have free grilled hot dogs on Friday night, nightly campfire get togethers with a singer, & free gold panning lessons. Would stay here again. - JBevans

The park was fairly quiet, but the gravel sites were anything but level. The road to the park was very rough but short. The wi-fi worked well but the camp has the security set very high so that many sites were unusable, but that isn't always a bad thing. The staff was friendly and the park was clean, just make sure you have plenty of leveling blocks with you. I would stay at this park again. - pemnel
This is a nice park. A little difficult to get to pulling a 36 ft fifth wheel. Small roads with lots of turns. The sites are fairly small and not easy to pull into. We stayed in site 49. It was okay but had it been really hot you would have no shade. Sites 74 and 73 would be a great choice for access and shade. Short walk to Columbia, which is a great town. Lots of activities - newtofifthwheeling
Due to the size of our motorhome were placed on the top tier of this terraced campground. It was easy to get in and out of but really a dirty place to park. Water was OK, the sewer hookups are, well, weird. Count 'em: 6 TV channels. There are no dog breed restrictions here and there is dog poop everywhere and barking dogs are a regular occurrence. There was quite a bit of trash on the ground that the groundskeepers would drive by and ignore. The Wi-Fi did not work at all and the office could only offer that sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. We won't be returning here. - rustandmoss

Rules Laid Down for 'Navigators'
Rules Laid Down for 'Navigators'
The government last month reinforced the firewall between the soon-to-be launched health insurance exchanges and the managed care industry.
Through the exchanges, which open in October, health plans will compete for the business of people who are not covered by employers or other sponsors.
Consumers may call on "navigators" to help them choose their coverage, and those people must not, in any way, be associated with the insurance industry.
The rule, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, says that a navigator "may not be a health insurance issuer; be a subsidiary of a health insurance issuer; be an association that includes members of, or lobbies on behalf of, the insurance industry; or receive any consideration, directly or indirectly, from any health insurance issuer in connection with the enrollment of any individuals or employees in a [qualified health plan (QHP)]." (See http://tinyurl.com/navigator-rule.)
The navigator cannot actually select a plan for a customer. "That said, navigators may play an important role in facilitating a consumer's enrollment in a QHP by providing fair, impartial, and accurate information that assists consumers with submitting the eligibility application, clarifying the distinctions among QHPs, and helping qualified individuals make informed decisions during the health plan selection process."
Richard G. Stefanacci, DO, MGH, MBA, and a member of Managed Care's Editorial Advisory Board, says the HHS standards do not address everything. He wonders how providers will be able to refer patients to navigators, and how patients who don't usually deal with the health care system will be able to find navigators.
"And of course from a health plan perspective — will navigators be truly objective when it comes to providing direction regarding plans or will they carry some bias," says Stefanacci.
Jaan Sidorov, MD, a consultant and another member of our Editorial Advisory Board, wonders how costly this might become.
California, for instance, wants 21,000 navigators. "It'd be interesting to combine those estimates with the $20–$48 per hour [that a navigator might be paid] to come up with a PMPM," says Sidorov. "I'll bet the number will produce sticker shock. That's especially true because of the Fed's remarkable ability to underestimate program costs and generate cost overruns."

"What (Michigan coaches) told me is that they're focusing on point guards right now, but if anything opens up, they'll definitely come back on and recruit me as hard as they were," said Towns

Golden Hammer
9/22/2012 – Michigan 6, Notre Dame 13 – 2-2
Lloyd Carr coached every game like he had a fantastic running game and great defense. He usually had an okay running game and a good defense, so this caught up to him from time to time. When Jim Tressel arrived and showed the men of manball what manball really was, Michigan's downward spiral began. In time, Tresselball would come to signify the exact same thing Lloydball did except without the oh and we lose the most important game of the year every time.
I grew to hate Lloydball.
The moment I threw in the towel is crystal clear in my memory, and by this point probably many longtime readers: punting from the opponent 34 against Ohio State in 2005. It was fourth and four. The clock read 4:18. Michigan had a two point lead. They'd recently had a nine point lead, but OSU ripped off a five-play touchdown drive in under a minute to change that. Michigan's defense had faced four do-or-die drives* already that year and failed on all of them. Faced with third and eleven, Michigan threw a screen to Antonio Bass for seven yards. They punted out of a field goal formation, which was so obvious to Tressel that they put a guy back there to field it. He would have had a shot at a touchdown if the punt hadn't exited the field at the twelve.
Just minutes before—literally in the same quarter—Lloyd had taken his frenzied quarterback's advice and gone for a QB sneak on fourth and one on his own 40. This caused everyone in the stadium to pick a partner with whom to share an incredulous look. This was not the way things went. The fourth down was successful; one bomb to Manningham later Michigan had staked itself to a two-score lead. That only made the knife cut deeper when in the moment of truth Carr reverted to form.
Michigan punted once Saturday.
I'm not sure if it's football in general that has shifted or if it's just Brady Hoke, but when Michigan had a fourth and two around the same area on Saturday, eyebrows were only slightly cocked when Michigan went for it. While Michigan was down 10-0, this was still the third quarter.
Lloyd wouldn't have even thought about it if his defense had given up 139 yards to that point. But he wouldn't have been down 10-0 in the first place. He would have squinted at his quarterback, wondered where the six-six artillery piece had gotten to, shrugged, and told his offensive coordinator to thud out a ten-point win based on Michigan's superior ground game. Only he would have had that faith, because he always had that faith.
But it was true. Take out a knee and ND averaged 3.2 yards a carry. Take out three sacks and a bad snap for Michigan and they averaged 5.1. That's a cavernous gap, one that a dinosaur coach would have driven through to a boring, field-goal-heavy victory.
Instead, we got several more entries in our database of what happens when Denard Robinson gets unblocked rushers in his face.
Is it good? No. Does it make any sense at all to run play action from under center on passing downs? No. Is it ever going to stop? No.
Well, maybe. Michigan did not throw a pass before third down on their two grinding second-half drives before the hurry-up was called for. Do that for the next eight games and run play action off plays you actually run and then Denard might get back to the things he was doing in an offense that was not trying to jam him into a hole he clearly does not fit. I thought maybe we'd learned that lesson after Iowa, but apparently not.
When stressed, people making decisions find it very hard to move away from habit. Everyone reverts to their comfort zone unless they are making a concerted effort to get away from it. Even then, you fall back into old patterns. Lloyd punted. Rodriguez installed a 3-3-5 defense. Borges starts calling plays from a long-ago offense helmed by a guy who was a better passer than runner. Denard throws the ball somewhere, anywhere.
Over the bye week, Michigan will refocus on what they're good at. This will get them through some games. They'll get comfortable with this, think they can install more stuff, and we'll get another Iowa, one they might pull out since the defense might be good and the Big Ten is definitely bad. And Denard will soldier through it, taking barbs from people who don't realize he could be in his first of two years at Oregon now, doing what he was born to.
He's not. He's doing this. This is "this": Al Borges has been Michigan's offensive coordinator for 17 games now. Five were against non-BCS opponents. A sixth was against Alabama and will be set aside. Of the remaining eleven, five were out-and-out debacles: both Notre Dame games, MSU, Iowa, and the Sugar Bowl. That Junior Hemingway rescued two of those doesn't change the fact that in about half of Michigan's games against real competition, the combination of Borges and Denard can't put up 200 yards until bombed out of the gameplan by events on the field.
You can blame Denard if you want. Sure, that happened in 2010, when Denard was a true sophomore and the second-leading rusher was Vincent Smith. I'm more concerned about the guy who isn't gone after this year, the offensive coordinator who vows to never work with a quarterbacks coach again and can't stand it when anyone dares to scream "RUN THE GODDAMN BALL" at him over and over and over and over and over, except whatever the press conference version of that is. Asking about bubble screens and stuff.
One day Borges will have a shining golden hammer of a quarterback, six-four, carved from marble, jawline for days. This man will coolly survey the field after faking a handoff to a two-hundred-thirty-pound bowling ball with knives sticking out of it. No one will run up in his face, because they are afraid the bowling ball has it. He will throw it to another six-foot-four man, this one long and graceful, built for escaping packs of hunters. This will be a good day. Nails are so dead.
Until then, here's to running, punting, and humility.
[Wisconsin: 52 yard, 11 play, four minute TD drive to win. Minnesota: eight play, 75-yard FG drive to win. Penn State: 13 play, 81-yard drive to wi—OH MY GOD MANNINGHAM. Iowa: 9 play, 74-yard FG drive to tie; Ferentz played for OT once in FG range, because he is Ferentz.]
Eric Upchurch
All the INTs:
Bullets Yes More Bullets In The Head Please
Sanity check. I know I may not be entirely reliable on this matter, but stuff coming through my twitter feed from the folks I respect most as college football observers helped me think this was not just a mania. Smart Football:
Nice call Borges. Denard struggling? Let's run some kind naked waggle pass from under center where we let Denard throw vs unblocked DEnd
An Al Borges cooking show would be great if you like seeing someone throw everything into a blender even if it makes no sense at all.
Blaming it on "execution" is horseshit, plain and simple. When the offensive coordinator flat-out refuses to take free yards on the outside and has not once used the devastating play action on which Denard is moving towards the line scrimmage before throwing, it is on his shoulders for not using the tools he has in the way they are most effective.
A third of the way through the ND game, Michigan had run Robinson three times. Instead Michigan threw the ball all the time against a rampant DL. The first INT was a running back in the redzone. On the second, Michigan rolled the pocket and told a redshirt freshman fullback to block Prince Shembo. On the third an unblocked Te'o roars straight up the pocket. On the fourth he ran a waggle on second and seven, which got an unblocked Tuitt in Denard's face after having thrown INTs on back to back passes.
This is a consistent theme. They go into games doing something other than making their running QB a runner, and then are surprised when it goes poorly. They have the guy turn his back to the line of scrimmage and are surprised when 1) opposing defenses prioritize getting a guy out on him and 2) he reacts poorly. The exception was last year's OSU game, during which Denard threw all of 17 times.
Robinson failed, sure, but he was put in a position to do so by a guy who puts three tight ends on the field on second and goal from the twelve yard line and fools no one with the subsequent play action. Coaches have to execute too. Borges's gameplan was a disaster, again.
Come on Denard. Let's ask Peyton Manning to be Pat White stuff aside, at some point you've got to just eat the ball, or not throw it at a guy so covered you're trying to throw it through the chest of not one but two opponents. That first Te'o interception was probably the worst throw of Denard's career; if one of the two guys underneath it didn't get it a safety in coverage on the corner had a shot at a PBU.
I bet a dollar that someone else was open on that play.
The fumble was the real killer, though. Michigan has just taken their first drive of the half 71 yards and Denard has just made it first and ten at the ND 11, boom ball out drive over everyone thinks of 2010 when Michigan put up scads of yards and usually had ten points to show for it. Down two scores and suddenly running all the time, Michigan really needed that drive to pay off.
Blame Gardner? Some people on the twitter and then Ace suggested that the slant INT was on Gardner instead of Robinson. I don't think that's the case. It looked to me like he ran a fine route and was open and Robinson just missed.
Gardner does have to catch that bomb on the last drive.
When to go for high risk trick plays. When there is a payoff commensurate with the risk. The Gardner pass is fine. You've got a play that is potentially 70-some yards if everything goes well. The Smith pass gives you at most ten and is less likely to get a guy wide open just because there's far less space. Last year's Smith TD pass was 30 yards out, which gives the WR room to break past the safeties and the RB room to throw it long. Doing that in a constricted space is asking for it when Manti Te'o is raging his way into a running back's face.
The only time I can recall Michigan running a trick play like that inside the red zone was during the 2007 Illinois game when both teams were actively conspiring to lose. With Henne shuttling in and out of the game and Mallett insane, trying the Arrington end-around pass after a muffed punt was a defensible decision. At the end of an 11-play, 78-yard drive maybe not so much.
What is this huddling business again? There's a case that you shouldn't be doing it at all; not only is huddling a useless anachronism but going away from it locks defensive personnel on the field and gives you easier looks as the opponent struggles to keep up. See Oregon, of course.
But even if you're intent on huddling the time to do so has passed when you're down two scores with 6:46 left. There's something to be said for the idea that an offense should be using tempo as much as possible so that in situations like that they are naturals at it. It's a lot easier to slow down than speed up.
Anyway, I had bad flashbacks to that Iowa game as Michigan took 3:19 and used a timeout on their last drive.
OTOH, didn't mind the end of the first half playcalling since in that situation you're worried about giving ND a possession they can use and you've just thrown interceptions on three straight plays. Why throw a Hail Mary with 16 seconds left, though? And what was Roundtree even doing there?
Defense! Woo defense! Also filed under "if you told me before the game…" with "Michigan would punt once": "Notre Dame would have under 200 yards of offense with three minutes to go." Before Floyd stumbled on that third down bomb to Eifert, Michigan had held two ND QBs to 5.6 YPA and two interceptions, with the only completion over twenty yards another tough fade on the sideline.
From way up in the stands I had a great view of the routes developing and nobody was open basically all day. Combine that with Quinton Washington problems like "is not tackling when he bursts into the backfield on three consecutive plays" and you have a soothing balm to apply as you look forward to the rest of the season. I'm actually eager to get to the UFRing just so I can see how the guys on D did. Live I saw Ryan make plays, Campbell make plays, Washington make plays, and that allowed the linebackers to flow freely, with the 3.1 YPC results mentioned above. Kenny Demens looks a lot better when he's not trying to fight off two different blockers on the same play.
If Washington can translate those plays against UMass and Mattison hype into an impact day on the interior line against a real opponent, Michigan's biggest question that isn't "how will Denard fail to be Peyton Manning this time" is a lot closer to resolution.
Potential caveat: ND's interior OL may not be very good. They got annihilated by Purdue (Riddick: 53 yards on 15 carries, five sacks on Golson, two by Kawann Short) and ND didn't do much against MSU that wasn't deception (counter draw) or Wood getting cutbacks similar to the one he busted for ND's only big run of the day.
Caveat caveat: "only big run of the day." The shot above is Michigan corralling the play I started calling "That Goddamned Counter Draw" after DeAndra Cobb staked MSU to the lead they'd give up during Braylonfest. I call it TGDCD because Michigan has never stopped the thing (except once, I think). They did it up there.
Speaking of…
Brady Hoke Epic Double Point of the Week. I have no idea yet, but it's obviously someone on defense. There is a weird lack of stats for such a dominating performance, with no sacks and just two TFLs, one for Kovacs, another split by Morgan and Washington.
For now, Jake Ryan gets the nod for most impactful-seeming impactfulness, but I reserve the right to switch this to Kovacs or Washington pending review.
2: Denard Robinson (Air Force, UMass)
1: Jeremy Gallon(Alabama), Jake Ryan(ND)
Freshman linebackers. They're basically co-starters at this point. I'm still nervous about them but if the D continues to perform like that in the Big Ten season, expectations for that crew will be enormous next year with four-ish returning starters, all of whom will still be around in 2014.
Demens did rotate in during the second half. He was in on six tackles, Morgan seven. Ross had one and Bolden did not register. IIRC Demens was the preferred option on passing downs, which makes sense since zone drops are often a struggle with young linebackers.
Norfleet. Please do not jump like that again. The air up there is dangerously low on oxygen and people are trying to kill you. Stay low, where you are under the radar and can execute deep infiltration missions.
ND future. I wouldn't get too worried about a full-on return to glory. If that interior OL is what it seems to be and they're flipping between Rees and Golson against the rest of their schedule, they'll drop some games. They'll still probably get that BCS bid so they can get stomped on by someone a lot better.
Funchess. Didn't really have much impact; I'll pick up the Mandich thing the next time he takes a significant step towards it. Did feature in this picture:
This is my ball. Do not take my ball.
In the week preceding this game, some random internet poster guy asked what was the worst performance you've seen by a QB. I ran screaming from that post, but couldn't escape the images of Demetrious Brown throwing seven interceptions – SEVEN INTERCEPTIONS!!! - in a game against MSU many years ago.
When I was 16 and learning how to drive, my Dad, trying his best to impart some constructive criticism without being overly harsh, said, "ST3, your driving lacks a certain smoothness." I think it's wonderful how Devin Gardner has moved over to WR to help the team, but at this point in his career, I think his route running lacks a certain smoothness.
The results of this game and a record of 2-2 are not indicative of the abilities of this team, and it would do every Michigan fan good to forget about what has happened and to concentrate instead on what can be accomplished in the BIG. I rest easier after seeing the O and D-lines gel and play very well. Denard will bounce back.
The rest of the BIG continues to look shaky, to say the least, and Michigan should be licking their chops against the likes of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and I dare say Michigan St at this point. Ohio has obvious problems as well, letting UAB run wild on them. Michigan should have distinct talent advantages against Northwestern and Purdue.
I'll skip all the articles about how Michigan turned the ball over a lot, since I think you probably know. More photos from Maize and Blue Nation. Sad Panda at MVictors. MVictors on the press box atmosphere:
It's well known that the media is prohibited from cheering in the press box but it's not just a collection of writers upstairs at Notre Dame. After Denard connected with Gardner on a third down conversion in the first half some dude belted out, "DAMN IT!". When Denard took off on a run later in the game, I heard, "GET 'EM!". And so on. I'm actually glad this happened because it created some much needed lighter moments on the glass.
Maybe it was the guy in seat 652:
Also, that Webb tweet that looked like it was from my account? Not on purpose:
Speaking of tweets, after another turnover (I think Denard's fumble?) this came from Sam Webb's feed. It was retweeted 28 times instantly:
The beauty – it wasn't a case of Sam grinding the keyboard in frustration. It was a legit accident as his phone went sideways and spit out Matrix code. Love it.
…unless the phone is also a Michigan fan.
The Daily has a great article about Denard's family in the stands:
The group sat in the family and friends section of Notre Dame Stadium. Steve wore his best friend's varsity jacket. The two girls wore "Shoelace" and another Robinson-themed shirt.
This section is different. Here, the hits sound louder. The mistakes sting more.
From here, you can reach out and touch the bass drums in the Michigan band. When a Notre Dame wide receiver was open on the goal line, the parents shouted and pointed, so Thomas Gordon bumped over and covered.
Robinson's supporters sat in the fifth row, tucked in between friends and family of freshman linebacker James Ross III and the family of fifth-year senior J.T. Floyd.
Robinson's parents come to games "very rarely, very rarely," J.T.'s father, James, said. Normally the Robinson clan gathers in Robinson's grandmother's house in Deerfield Beach, Fla. around a television.
"Every Saturday," Durrel said. "Everybody (goes). I can't even tell you who don't go."
Daily's Luke Pasch on the thing. Both the HSR and Maize and Brew Nation are on the "oh, God, Denard had to apologize to everyone" angle. TWIS preview.
Would you like frustrating losses scored? Of course you would.
Tuesday Presser Transcript 9-18-12: Al Borges
Al Borges
" 'Sup. Where's your glasses?"
I didn't want to look cerebral today.
"It's up to you."
MGoYouAreStaringAtMeButIHaveNothingToSay: So. Norfleet.
"You're not even going to ask me about my daughter first?"
How's kinder--
MGoOfCourse: HOW'S KINDERGARTEN?
"She learned about caterpillars. And you know what the word of the day is? Metamorphosis."
They haven't gotten to bubble screens in kindergarten yet? [Ed: This was not me.]
"Psh. Bubble screens. No. They blow bubbles."
Are you expecting a metamorphosis from last year's performance against Notre Dame?
"I'm hoping it's better than that. Holy smokes that was just awful."
What didn't go right early last year that all of a sudden clicked in the fourth quarter?
"Well we completed some passes. That's the thing, when people are crowding the line of scrimmage like that, kind of forcing the issue. They were keenly aware of what Denard had done the year before. They restructured their defense to kind of stop him and force the issue with the passing game. We just weren't early on completing many. We made a couple adjustments at halftime with the run game, and it helped us a little bit, but they played good, too. They came out ready to play and, you know, we were still so unpolished at that time -- not that we're real polished now, but we did not play well at all and they played well."
Hokepoints: Denard Under Center
There was once a dream that was called Denard Robinson: Accurate Passer. You could only whisper it; anything more than a whisper and it would vanish…it was so fragile. And I fear that it will not survive the fall.
Last Saturday while watching Andrew Maxwell derf another derpity doo, I half-rhetorically asked the assembled a room full of Spartan fans who's the best passing quarterback in our conference this year. Answers, in order of appearance:
- …
- "CHHIIIRP CHIRRRP" –insects with that leg-rubbing noise
- …
- …
- "Howl" –wolf in the distance
- "How about that little dude on Northwestern?" – a Sparty
- "No he graduated." –another Sparty
- …
- "Shit. Really?" –first Sparty
After three weeks the stats (min=25 attempts) say it's Denard and ol' Tyranno-arm:

His interceptions are dragging down the passer rating, but half are explained by an accurate throw Vincent Smith deflected, and Roundtree getting shoved into last Tuesday by a Bama cornerback. It's just three games in, and the Big Ten competition this year isn't exactly the NFC South, but raise your hand if four weeks ago you thought there might be even a flimsy statistical case for saying "Denard is the best passer in the Big Ten right now."
In last week's Mailbag article Brian remarked upon a Mike Rothstein study that claims Denard has been way more accurate under center than from the shotgun. The Power Rank made a chart:
We've been over his higher efficiency as a runner from the gun ad nauseum, and charted his regression last year as of December, but is he really a better passer when dropping back? Brian's suggested explanations were Pressure, Situation, or Luck (ie sample size). Let's dig into the UFR database and see if there's an answer.
Mailbag: Center vs Shotgun Fight, Punt vs Kick Return Fight, Let's Be Nebraska(?)
Unbalanced stuff, Denard under center.
First, in this pic from the Air Force Defensive UFR:
The slot receiver would be eligible if he took a step back and the WR at the top took a step forward, correct? So what is the advantage to having this alignment vs. having two players be positioned less than one yard differently? I can't quite grasp what would compensate for losing an eligible receiver.
Normally, yes. Here Air Force is going to send the WR to the top of the screen in motion until he ends up behind the two guys in the backfield. That makes life easier for Air Force if they want to run to the short side because they've effectively blocked the corner to that side by putting him on the other side of the field.
Defenses can react to this by shifting but it's unnatural for them to do this. Sometimes they mess it up, especially when you're going at speed like Air Force does. The disadvantage created by making that WR ineligible can even be mitigated by sending him on a crazy route that takes him behind the QB. Is the offense going to use this? Probably not. Is the defense going to totally abandon defending this guy? Probably not.
Second, I saw the ESPN article about Denard's passing from under center being pretty fantastic. Given that, and Denard being Denard, why wouldn't we run a basic QB draw from that setup on the regular? Or is the passing being so good a result of defenses making sure to take that away?
The numbers here are relatively small—Rothstein charts 62 attempts from under center under Borges, which is two or three games of data. He's done well with those attempts, obviously. I have no idea why, and if you go all Gaussian on things it's clear that there's a lot of jitter in there. Via The Power Rank:
Rothstein does acknowledge the sample size issues. But just because your data is not big enough to be authoritative does not mean it isn't suggestive. Given the numbers, the chances that randomness explains all of the difference is a mere 6%. It's worth figurin' on.
There's a pretty obvious mechanism that makes Michigan's running game more effective from the shotgun—hi my name is Denard's legs. What is the reason Denard's only throwing interceptions from the shotgun? Nothing leaps out. The routes? They're probably the same. The drop-back? In the NFL, the shotgun is a more efficient formation (even accounting for down and distance) despite running quarterbacks being largely absent. Run paranoia? It seems hard to believe that's more of a factor from under center.
Three things do seem like potential mechanisms:
- Pressure. It's easier to max-pro when you've got a couple TEs or a couple backs. Also, it's easier to not tip your snap count against MSU. Denard + pressure == doom. If Denard is getting better protection from under center that would be an obvious way in which under center was really better.
- Situation. Michigan's more likely to go under center in short-yardage situations, making those passes more profitable as the defense expects run. Also a potential factor in "situation": Michigan may run more under-center stuff against easy Ds and default to shotgun when they think they're up against it.
- Luck. Sample size here is small enough that it probably explains some of the difference. It's hard to think TD/INT splits of 12-1 (under center) and 11-17 (shotgun) are totally explainable by luck.
The problem with throwing from under center is that sometimes you have to run it from under center, and that's burning downs at this point.
Seth has all this in a UFR database and will address it in more depth on Tuesday.
Punt versus kick return, fight.
Hey, Brian. I hoping you might be able to shed some light on a question. What is the difference between kick returner and punt returner? Why does Norfleet return kicks and Gallon return punts? Is it to limit their exposure to 11 special teams defensemen running downhill at full speed with the intent of breaking the returner's back? Or are there different skills involved? (Because who wouldn't like to see Norfleet returning punts, too?)
Kick returns are the junior varsity version of punt returns. As a kick returner you have a high-arcing kick travelling 60-70 yards before you camp out under it. If you fumble the thing, the nearest opponents are 20 yards away. You pick it up, you lose a few yards in field position, and no one has a panic attack. Either that or it's a touchback. BFD.
Screwing up a punt, whether it's by fumbling it or failing to field it, has much direr implications. A fumble is almost guaranteed to be a turnover, and we just saw Jeremy Gallon cost Michigan 25 yards by not fielding an Air Force punt. Additionally, punts can come in at all sorts of angles, generally much faster than kicks. Ever seen a kickoff fielded on the run? Maybe if someone is making a terrible decision on one that's going out of bounds. Otherwise, never. On punts it's not uncommon.
In addition to that, there are some different skills involved. Punts often involve dodging guys with little or no opportunity to get up to full speed. On a kickoff you're generally going to have the opportunity to get your motor humming before you have to make a cut. So a guy like Darryl Stonum made an excellent kick returner thanks to his top-end speed and ability to make a shallow cut at speed, but wouldn't have made much of a punt returner.
Gallon and Norfleet both have skills that make them a good fit for both positions. The coaches are currently more comfortable with Gallon back there, but if he keeps bringing out 2010 Gallon and Norfleet proves capable in practice, a switch won't be long in coming. Either way, at least Michigan won't be running a Greg Mathews out there.
Option MSU?
I haven't seen any film on last year's game between Nebraska and MSU, but I have to believe that Nebraska had a relatively effective day on offense judging from the score and offensive numbers. (24 points and 190 yards on the ground) So with that being said and knowing that Michigan and Nebraska run similar offenses, can Michigan look at that the game film and implement some sort of parallel schemes against MSU that Nebraska executed and have a likewise outcome?
That game was won by Nebraska's defense, which limited the Spartans to under 200 yards. While the Huskers racked up 190 yards rushing it took 58 carries for them to get there—3.3 YPC. Unless Michigan can do the same thing to the Spartan offense they're not likely to win with that kind of rushing output.
Meanwhile, an offense with pitches like Nebraska's is one you have to dedicate yourself to. It's not something you can implement for a single week. You can change your blocking schemes, routes, protections, and playcalling, sure, but when you start asking a guy to make split-second decisions about whether to fumble a ball in the general direction of the running back you're asking for trouble.
FWIW, it does seem like Michigan is at least allowing the center to get his head up and survey the landscape before he snaps the ball these days.
Tuesday Presser Transcript 9-11-12: Al Borges
Al Borges
Opening remarks:
"What's up. Did you count the bubble screens again?"
MGoRetort: You had two fakes.
"Oh those were actually laser screens."
MGoABubbleScreenByAnyOtherName: Oh, laser screens.
"They're different. A little different."
Your daughter started school last week. How was that?
"It's awesome. The teacher wants to take her home. [My daughter] is so cool, she's great. She thinks she's pretty cool, too. She talks a lot. She talks like four times more than my son. So she's good at talking because she practices so much more, you know. And then I get home, she's usually in bed, but if she's up, she's got so many things to tell me."
So she takes after you.
"Yeah. A little bit. I'm going to start giving her like a word a day. 'Condescending.' 'Exasperate.' Stuff like that, you know. She'll floor her kindergarten teacher if she throws that one in, if I can get her to say it in context. Pretty cool. What are you guys laughing about? There's nothing wrong with that. My dad did that. My dad used to all the time give me a word a day."
You never use those words in your press conferences.
"Oh no. Never. No. Sometimes I do. Okay."
Did anything exasperate you Saturday?
"Uh, no, not really. Not too much. Not too much. It was -- other than not getting the ball to Fitz. We wanted to get Fitz off a little more. Obviously that didn't work out real good, but we knew going into the game that they were going to have trouble with Denard because the speed factor in the secondary. We wanted to get our athletes out in space. He's as athletic as anybody we have. That was an emphasis in this game, and we kind of accomplished that, so the next day what we have to do is we have to get our tailback more involved, working our tails off to devise a plan to do just that."
Hokepoints Builds the IKEA Offense
John T. Greilick|DetNews
This does not a happy Hoke make (2012 stats so far):
Player | Attempts | Yds | Avg | TD | Long | Avg/G |
Robinson | 30 | 245 | 8.2 | 3 | 79 | 122.5 |
Toussaint | 8 | 7 | 0.9 | 0 | 5 | 7.0 |
Smith | 13 | 37 | 2.8 | 0 | 33 | 16.5 |
Rawls | 6 | 11 | 1.8 | 0 | 9 | 9 |
Here's Hoke on that in the Monday presser:
Looking at the running game, were there different holes for Denard than for Fitz?
"Well some is we couldn't get Fitz started. They ran 30 times fire zones -- run fire zones, which they never were that big a team. We call them sharks and stuff like that. But it was a little different. It was a little different. Never could get him started. Some of it we have to block better, some of it on some of the reads, maybe he should have kept the ball twice in there, but I think some of it goes down to number one what we were trying to do, giving Denard the ball, and secondly blocking better. And then you've got to give them a little credit, too."
Throw a dart at a row of newsstands within 400 miles of Ann Arbor and you'll probably puncture a sentence telling the Michigan running backs to step it up. If you do the same with the blogosphere it'll stick in some guy who won't notice because he is running around in panic over all non-Lewan OL. Other potential targets include the "Most of that is Alabama" couch, the floor of "Toussaint only played one game and they took him away by alignment," the wall of "it's early in the season," the "Denard missed some reads" chair, or maybe the "Mealer <<<<(!!!) Molk" bookshelf you just bought at Ikea and discovered to your horror you can't return or reassemble even though you're pretty sure you mixed up two of those bolt-thingies and this is why it keeps coming apart.
This Ikea metaphor for the offensive line is worth exploring but not this moment. This moment I want to figure out which of the above targets are actually getting the most hits, i.e. why aren't the running backs getting any traction?

Caraviello: Hornish lost Cup ride, but not sense of perspective
February 26, 2011, David Caraviello, NASCAR.com
These days Sam Hornish Jr. has idle time, but not idle hands. With no testing to divert his attention, he spent two weeks in December restoring an old bicycle that belonged to his father. He's been able to stay home and help his wife, Crystal, with their new baby, born just before the new year. He's been able to spend more time with family members and friends who maybe didn't see as much of him when he was traveling the country piloting race cars. In some ways, running only a limited schedule has its benefits. "My first child, when she was born, I was home for about a day and a half and I was gone for about five weeks straight, running all over the nation," Hornish said prior to the season opener. "Having the opportunity to be home for this one, and spend a lot of time at home, it's been good. If I didn't have so many other things going on in my life, like two little kids, I'd probably be pulling my hair out. But there are a lot of things that can remind me what the real positives are in my life, and what's really important." "The only reason I need to race right now is because I want to race. I'm not in it to go out and collect a paycheck. I just want to race." --SAM HORNISH JR. That kind of outlook is key for a driver who is beginning perhaps his most frustratingly uncertain season since he hit it big in major auto racing a decade ago. A three-time champion on the IndyCar circuit who moved to NASCAR in 2008, Hornish lost his Sprint Cup ride when car sponsor Mobil 1 left Penske Racing. The points he accrued in the No. 77 car last season were sold to the team of Steve Wallace, who used them to gain a berth in last week's Daytona 500 -- an event Hornish watched. His 2011 plans consist of about a dozen starts in the Nationwide Series for Penske Racing, and a scattered schedule that began at Daytona but won't pick up again until Texas in April. That means he isn't racing this weekend at Phoenix, the first NASCAR event weekend he's sat out since failing to qualify at Homestead in the final race of his first full-time season in 2008. It would be a humbling transition for any driver, but Hornish isn't just any driver -- he's a former Indianapolis 500 champion whom boss Roger Penske still refers to as "one of the best oval-series drivers I've ever seen." Now he's running a limited Nationwide schedule, hoping to add a few more races along the way, hoping to sow the seeds for a potential return to the Sprint Cup level in 2012. Fortunately, despite a rocky stint in NASCAR that's led to what some might view as a demotion, Hornish has never lost his sense of perspective. He's still an unassuming guy who lives in out-of-the-way Defiance, Ohio, who's saved much of what he's made, who remains grounded, loyal to Penske, and optimistic about his fortune turning around. He's seen it happen before -- in 2000 he was a struggling IndyCar driver who had just missed his second consecutive race because of a lack of sponsorship when a phone call came asking him to jump in a car at Kentucky. He led 30 laps, finished ninth, and by the following Tuesday had signed a contract with Pennzoil-backed Panther Racing, the team that would launch his career. "I've been racing professionally for 11 years. I didn't get paid a lot in the beginning, I'm not getting paid a lot right now, but there were times. And I tried to save everything I could. I had a couple of toys here or here, but I didn't have a Ferrari, I didn't have a bunch of expenses. I was engaged or married for most of it, so it wasn't like I was out doing all these different things. The only reason I need to race right now is because I want to race. I'm not in it to go out and collect a paycheck. I just want to race," said Hornish, who was involved in an early crash last week in the Nationwide race at Daytona and finished 36th. "I just want to give myself an opportunity to go out there and do the best that I can do. It is tough in some shapes and forms that we'll only be able to run at minimum 11 races [in Nationwide], but I also know that 11 or 12 years ago I was sitting there wishing I had something to do, and from Wednesday to the next Tuesday everything changed. And I know I'm a heck of a lot further down the road than I was at that point. I was figuring out whether I was going to work on trucks, drive trucks, what I was going to do. I still have something to do. I'm still a lot better off than I was there." His experience in NASCAR has been a trying one. Attending a party for former open-wheel sponsor Marlboro, he watched footage of himself winning the Indianapolis 500, and got a little emotional. "It was nice to remember you once did something after getting dirt kicked in your face the last three years. I kind of needed that," Hornish said. The reaction is understandable considering his exploits in stock cars have produced eight top-10 finishes in 108 Cup starts, the few hopeful moments buried beneath wrecked race cars and disappointment. "I know there have been days that I could have won Cup races if the right things happened, but we never got to the point where we could do it consistently enough to where we could be there all the time. There's been days when I've done everything right, and we've gone out there and finished well, and there have been days when I've screwed up quite a bit," Hornish said. "Some days it was there, and some days it wasn't. If I could tell you why it wasn't .... Sometimes that chemistry doesn't work out the way you need it to. It was mentally tough. But ... I always felt there was a ray of hope -- all right, I learned this. How come every time we go to Pocono we can lead 10, 15 laps of the race but can't win? We run good there, and if can do it there, you should be able to do it at another place. It's one of those things where, I don't think people understand how closely competitive it is, and how just little things being off can affect a team." Penske granted Hornish permission to solicit offers from other Cup teams, as long as the driver didn't commit to a vehicle that planned only to start and park. Some organizations showed interest, Hornish said, but those overtures were thwarted by the same sponsorship difficulties that forced him to give up the No. 77 car. The end result is a lot of free time during a very long racing season, some of which Hornish hopes to fill by testing for teammates Kurt Busch and Brad Keselowski, and by attending the races close to home. He seems a little curious about the idea of competing in the 100th Indy 500, but as of last month Penske had no plans to field Hornish in one of his cars. "As I've said to him, we've got to be honest about this and where we're going," Penske said. "What I said to him was, look, let's step back here. It's like being put back a grade in school. I know a lot of guys who were put back a grade in school who turned out to be pretty good guys." Time will tell whether being held back to a limited Nationwide schedule will further Hornish's NASCAR education. In the meantime, there are those two little girls -- 3-year-old Addison and infant Eliza -- who are going to get plenty of time with their dad. "I know in my opinion," Hornish said, "this is probably going to be the most fun I'm ever going to have." The opinions expressed are solely those of the writer.

Play our fun game and find out if the one you like likes you back. Confide in us if you think you'd hit it off by clicking: Yes, No, or Maybe. We'll anonymously find out and let you know if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You've already said YES! If the feeling is mutual, we'll let you both know.
You've already said No. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You've already said Maybe. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
If I could figure out how to get around town on a jet ski I would, and my spin bike is stationary so that wouldn't work either. Keeping active and on the go are two things you should know about me first. I work hard and have a career, but have always believed in maintaining a balance that provides for fun and relaxation. Now that my children are grown and on their own, it's really "me" time. And time for you whoever you are! I hope like me, you are someone who is young at heart and in spirit, and while you do like to chillax (chill out and relax), you are no couch potato. If you are staying home it is to catch a documentary/ mini series, or newly released film or movie on DVD, or read a great book. Perhaps you'd join me in making a delicious dinner and sharing a nice bottle of wine. I have a career that affords me the opportunity to enjoy the finer things in life. Traveling and dining in or out are things much better..... done together! As a former thespian....theater (not drama) and music are a constant in my life. I'm looking to keep it all pretty simple but make no mistake I'm a one-man woman and I am definitely looking to meet someone special. I'm someone who knows who she is and what she wants and needs. I will never hesitate to share my thoughts since honesty and integrity are non-negotiable. With me you'd have a true partnership since I've come to realize that is how the most successful relationships last.. So my partner, whoever you are and wherever you are, (since I'm placing no boundaries on my search), I look so forward to meeting you soon!

ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about body changes and other things that can signal a problem that may need medical care. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
People with bladder cancer may experience the following symptoms or signs. Sometimes, people with bladder cancer do not show any of these symptoms. Or, these symptoms may be caused by a medical condition that is not cancer. Bladder cancer usually does not cause symptoms that specifically indicate cancer. Most often, bladder cancer is diagnosed when a person tells his or her doctor about blood in the urine, also called hematuria. Gross hematuria means that enough blood is present in the urine to be visible to the patient. It is also possible there are small amounts of blood in the urine that are unable to be seen; this is called microscopic hematuria, and it can only be detected with a urine test.
General urine tests are not used to make a specific diagnosis of bladder cancer because hematuria can be a sign of several other conditions that are not cancer, such as an infection or kidney stones. One type of urine test that can indicate the presence of cancer is cytology, a test in which the urine is studied under a microscope to look for cancer cells. See the Diagnosis section for more information.
If you are concerned about a symptom or sign on this list, please talk with your doctor.
- Blood or blood clots in the urine
- Pain or burning during urination
- Frequent urination
- Feeling the need to urinate many times throughout the night
- Feeling the need to urinate, but not being able to pass urine
- Lower back pain on one side of the body
Symptoms of advanced bladder cancer may include pain, unexplained appetite loss, and weight loss.
Sometimes when the first symptoms of bladder cancer appear, the cancer has already spread to another part of the body. In this situation, the symptoms depend on where the cancer has spread. For example, cancer that has spread to the lungs may cause a cough or shortness of breath, spread to the liver may cause abdominal pain or jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), and spread to the bone may cause bone pain or a fracture (bone break).
Your doctor will ask how long and how often you've been experiencing the symptom(s), in addition to other questions. This is to help find out the cause of the problem, called a diagnosis.
If cancer is diagnosed, relieving symptoms remains an important part of cancer care and treatment. This may also be called symptom management, palliative care, or supportive care. Be sure to talk with your health care team about symptoms you experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms.
The next section helps explain what tests and scans may be needed to learn more about the cause of the symptoms. Use the menu on the side of your screen to select Diagnosis, or you can select another section, to continue reading this guide.

After the triumph that was the group's 2009 album The Mountain, Cincinnati transplant Wennerstrom used her voice (which just might be the coolest instrument in rock these days) and a bit of time off from touring to exceed the lofty expectations the group's breakthrough album created.

Since Tilda told Edwin about her fun fishing excursion he's been wanting to try out his new rod and reel himself, so he hie'd his way to the old fishing hole and settled in for some good old fashioned fun. Well, it looks like he's gotten himself so lost in daydreaming that he's forgotten what he's there for. Now that brings up a good question. His mind is obviously elsewhere, but where is that? Thinking of Tilda and her successful adventure, maybe wishing he'd brought some of that fresh baked apple pie his mom has sitting in the kitchen window to cool, or maybe just thinking how he wished Tilda was there with him. Whatever the case, he's completely oblivious to the little fish nibbling at his line as well as the mermaid who's just found his message in a bottle that he threw in the water last season. Do you suppose he'll wake up in time to take advantage of the situation or will he just sit there dreaming the day, and his opportunities, away? You guess. I made the card so now it's your turn to interpret it!!!

New research shows that statins appear to protect against the development of lung cancer.
The large population study, conducted by researchers from Louisiana State University and the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center, consisted of data collected over a 6-year period from the VA Health Care System. The case population consisted of 483,733 patients—some with lung cancer and others without (control group).
Of the total population, 7,280 had lung cancer and 163,662 were receiving statins. The duration of statin use was defined as the time of usage prior to lung cancer diagnosis or time of usage until the data collection was completed.
Researchers found that statin use of 6 or more months was associated with a lung cancer risk reduction of 55%. Statin use of more than 6 months showed a decreased risk of lung cancer across all age groups, and despite race, smoking status, or body mass index (BMI).
This study appears in the May issue of CHEST, the peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Chest Physicians.

I've just returned from getting hosed down in a decontamination unit. Coincidentally, this is just what I do on Sunday nights and has nothing to do with the fact that I've just chatted with Oren Peli, writer and producer of the atomic horror flick 'Chernobyl Diaries.'
Mr. Peli is the man behind the 'Paranormal Activity' films (as well as producer on 'Insidious' and the cancelled show 'The River') and it stands to reason that 'The Chernobyl Diaries' will be another in a string of successes when it opens for insatiable horror audiences this weekend.
Its "why the hell didn't I think of that?" premise drops a van loaded with adventuresome teens in one of the best real life haunted houses – the (actual) abandoned city of Pripyat outside of Chernobyl. There they will face their own fears. . .or is it wild animals. . .or radioactive psychopaths . . .or, well, perhaps its best to let Mr. Peli get into it.

Tips on cleaning guns. There is an old cooey model 75 .22 caliber that I found in my atic. I am wondering how to clean a 3 generation old with oud recking it. Any tips on cleaning it? |
lightly oiled rag until you find out what it is and what its worth. anything to harsh could ruin the value. clean the bore as you would any other bore. that's my suggestion. |
The Cooey's are nice old military practice rifles from Canada but don't command big dollars in todays market. I've seen several at shows all were under 100. U.S. Dollars :sad: I've searched the net to find you an example. <--click to view I should mention I have seen one that a dealer was asking 375.

Author/Date | connecting thru socks |
lejo 08/12/2002 5:53am |
I've been trying to connect to a server thru a socks proxy server on my LAN (port 1080). Connecting itself works but I where it should be listing the files on the server I always get "illegal PORT command" error. Of course on the computer hooked up ti the internet directly everything works just fine (and fast!)
Am I doing something wrong? Or is there no way to upload thru my proxy? |

Oh, that's a bug.
I'll see if I can fix it for the next version. |
